Slide to how many days it's been. Here's what's normal, what to do and what to leave alone.
It's an open wound for the first few days: a little weeping, redness and swelling is normal.
It flakes like a sunburn and the colour looks cloudy. That's the top layer coming away.
The surface has closed but the skin underneath is still healing. It may look a little shiny.
The colour has settled. Book a free touch-up within three months if any spot needs it.
Spreading redness, heat, pus, a fever or red streaks after the first few days can mean infection. See a GP; don't wait for us.
Some spots heal patchy. Message us a photo and we'll book a quick, free touch-up.
If something looks odd, message the studio with a photo. Your artist will reply the same day they're in.
Pick from the flash, come to Flash Friday, or book a free consult for something custom.
